Or get those really small bullet turn sigs, use white/clear lenses, and run thren real low, like under the rear swing arm, and under the footpegs. And thats my 2 cents, worth about 0.5 cents.

I got a 7" headlight & had to make several brackets before one worked, a major arse pain. (things I'd do different on my bike; # 978 )

DK,

Like the look of the taillight. Had thought about the bullet taillight from a '39' Chevy but haven't cared to part with the 100-150 bucks for a NOS and haven't found a good salvage bucket yet. Thought about the safty issue too but figure if the cagers can't see a 270 lb. rider on a bright yellow scooter then why worry about the size of the taillight. Grin

Tailight is a Sparto, standard chopper light, bought mine new for 25.00 on ebay, here's one running; Item number: 120013156952, or just type in Sparto for a search. The headlight is overpriced as it is the shell only, read the fine print, somewhat deceiving. 5 1/4" headlights can be bought new off ebay for under 30 bucks and sometimes you can snag a 7 for 30 to 40 "COMPLETE". For blinkers you can get a pair of bullets for under 20 bucks, mine cost me 15 and look great. Just do a search under bullet in motorcycle parts.

Just my 2 cents

Don't know what kind of handlebar you've got, but if it's a little more on the straight side, have you thought about going with the t-sigs that fit in the end of your handlebar? I can't remember where, but I've seen some pretty cool ones. If I can find some, I'll shoot you the links.

Yes... but for the rear... and, depending on your state's laws, you may have to get amber lenses. They are single fillament, so you can only use them on rears, again depending on your state's laws. Usually, there fronts are dual filament so tehy always stay on, then get brighter when they flash as the other bulb turns on.
